Tokyo Mafia *4 movies*

Postby Chinoco » Wed Oct 11, 2006 2:05 am

I recently saw a 4 DVD set of movies called "The Toyko Mafia Collection"...

I love HK Triad films and the few Yakuza movies I have seen as well...

Has anyone seen these films? Worth buying?

Thanks!

I think they're very low budget direct-to-video films, and though that didn't stop Takashi Miike making some great films, my general impression from online comments is that the Tokyo Mafia films lack the kind of wit and imagination that makes Miike so enjoyable whatever his budget.

I don't have first-hand knowledge though...

Thanks man...

Well, I have found the 4 movie set at a very cheap price ($20 including shipping), so I guess I'll bite the bullet and check them out...

If they REALLY SUCK, then I'll warn everyone else by posting here :D

Later...
